On or about the first of March, J. d.
Turner, who has been engaged in
the land business in this city during the
past few years, and who held a clerk
ship in the U. S. Land Office under the
old regime, will remove to Lamar,
Colo, where he will engage in the land
business, in that rising young town of
Southeastern Colorado. We regret an
~nouncing this intended move, but wish
him all the success that a young man
of his exemplary habits and recognized
business qualities should command in
any community.

An item which savors somewhat
strongly of scandal comes to us from
the Spring Creek region. 1t is alleged
that some parties, taking advantage of
mental condition of the husband, and
for purposes we will not here state, but
rather insinuate, persuaded a young
married woman of that neighborhood to
leave her liege lord and master bed
and board and take up her abode at an
other house on the creek, not unknown
to fame.

Prevalence of Weeds.

Prof. j. C. Arthur, in his report for 1886 to the
New York Experiment Station gives the number
of weeds found upon one-twentieth of an acre
during the growing season. The land was part
of an abandoned pasture. It had been plowed
in 1882 and had borne four crops, with an
annual dressing of commercial fertilizer, but
bad received no weed seeds from stable manure,
manuring had been given it. The land on
all sides had been in constant and clean cultiva-
ton. The couEtings were made in June, July,
August and September, the largest weeds being
pulled up and removed each time Tho result
was 3, sol individual plants in 1885, and ,008 in
1885; and the entire number of species both
years was over sixty. This examination shows
that the number of individual plants 81 300
to the acre. To furnish full information the
botanic name of every species is given. Nearly
all are of plants which are never of any use in
cultivation, but few are of useful plants in the
wrong place. according to the definition that
weed is "a plant growing where it Is not
wanted. and not in accordance with Emersons
definition, that "a weed is plant whose virtues
have not been discovered" as such ennently
valuable plants as red clover and Indian

majority of the faculty are opposed to co-educa-
